In December 2013, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced it would be issuing the Uniform Guidance which would detail revised regulations for federal grants made on or after December 26, 2014. These revisions address new cost principles, administrative requirements, and audit protocols and will affect all new awards, supplemental funding, and renewals. Awards made before December 26, 2014, are excluded.

The Uniform Guidance streamlines and monitors the federal grant process more effectively. These new policies offer guidance on federal awards; reduce administrative burden on the government; strengthen oversight of funding to discourage waste, fraud, and abuse; set standard requirements for award management across all agencies; and ensure the best use of award funds. Furthermore, eight OMB circulars will be consolidated into Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
